5 Day Benguerra Island Mozambique Retreat

If you are looking for an idyllic island experience then this 5-day Benguerra Island Retreat getaway is a perfect choice.

Situated on the second largest island in the sunny Bazaruto Archipelago off the coast of Mozambique, &beyond Benguerra Island is set in a protected marine conservation area and offers pristine beaches and unspoiled coral reefs teeming with marine life. Looking out onto a sandy beach and set on a deep lagoon unaffected by the tides, this exclusive beach getaway is ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Surrounded by premier diving sites, the lodge is the gateway to an underwater wonderland for divers, with a rich variety of tropical fish species complemented by Africa’s only population of the rare dugong. The deep Mozambique Channel, which runs alongside the island, is renowned for its game fish and Benguerra Island offers some of the world’s best catch-and-release deep sea fishing and fly fishing opportunities.

An idyllic luxury island getaway, &Beyond Benguerra Island lies sheltered within a canopy of indigenous casuarina pine forest, which opens up to unrivaled views of the Indian Ocean.

Looking out onto the calm turquoise waters of a secluded bay, the 20 villa lodge boasts soft, white beach sands, as well as a deep channel that cuts straight out to sea, allowing for swimming right off the beach, even at low tide.

Colorfully ornamented, a traditional wooden dhow has found its permanent place on the beach, offering the ideal spot to indulge in an ice-cold cocktail or a delicious meal of fresh, fragrant Mozambican seafood. Your time is spent exploring the island, relaxing on the beach or poolside, or indulging in a massage treatment that is sure to rejuvenate body, mind and soul.

The remote location of the lodge and the various activities on offer, make this tour ideal for solo travelers, couples and families.
